Housekeeping *

I haven't posted much in a while, I got a job working in housekeeping at a hotel recently, though it's not my field of work or where I'd hoped to be, but God has been teaching me things where I am as I work and wait for directions into my next step of life. Currently I have plans to go back to school for a post diploma 1 year course, so we'll see what happens there!

Right now though, I'm in housekeeping and God has been teaching me to be content and even joyful in my circumstances where most co-workers complain about being there every single day, it's hard to not go right along with that - yes there are things to complain about but well it's pretty clear where God stands on the issue of complaining and being unthankful, so that is where I must stand on the issue and let him help me to not have that sin take over.

God has also been teaching me a bit about humbleness. Housekeeping can be a pretty dirty job, and yes some people actually do trash hotel rooms - it's not just in movies- but this is work that is mostly unnoticed, unappreciated and something you have to do all over again the next day - this is another area when it can become easy to start complaining but somehow, when I start thinking about it I just picture Jesus washing His disciples feet and how He would have washed everyone's feet and I think about that sometimes when I'm scrubbing bathroom floors - that Jesus is the most beutifully humble person and I want to emulate that as well.
